Instructions

1. Prepare and Bake the Wings

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Toss wings in olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes.
Whisk in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. Toss the Wings

Place baked wings in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings.
Toss well to coat evenly.

4. Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
